E-scooter accident in Hamm: driver injured, perpetrator fleeting

in Hamm, more precisely on Lessingstrasse, a traffic accident occurred on September 6, which not only brought about the balance of a 24-year-old e-scooter driver but also health problems. At 4:55 p.m., when the young woman was traveling towards Allleestrasse, she noticed an approaching vehicle - an Opel Meriva.

But what is mostly dismissed as ruthless behavior, actually happened here: the driver of the Opel overtook the scooter riot so narrowly that she was forced to avoid. The moment she tried to escape the danger, she lost control and got against a curb. This meant that she finally crashed into a parked gray vehicle. The impact was so violent that the rear window of the parked seat broke. In this predicament, the woman suffered minor injuries, which she later had to treat her on an outpatient basis.

The escape of the person who caused the accident

Despite the accident, the driver of the Opel, who initially stopped, left the 24-year-old and the damage caused by without taking care of the injured. This not only raises questions of consideration, but also about the legal consequences that can result in leaving the scene of the accident. Overall, the property damage on the e-scooter and the parked Seat was around 1,100 euros-a sum that looks small in view of the circumstances.

The Hamm police have now started the investigation and is looking for witnesses who could have observed observations in the time of the accident. Witnesses are asked to report on 02381 916-0 or by email to information.hamm@Polizei.nrw.de

accidents with e-scooters have become increasingly common in recent years. This development is in line with the increasing popularity of the electrical means of transportation in urban areas. While e-scooters represent an environmentally friendly and practical alternative to the car, they also bring risks with them, especially if other road users do not show the necessary consideration.

The importance of such accidents, as in this case, extends beyond physical injuries. They throw a light on the challenges of traffic safety at a time when more and more people switch to alternative means of transport. The need to pay attention to the safety of all road users could not catch the eye more clearly. Nevertheless, there is hope that such incidents will lead to the traffic rules further refine and the clarification of the population is intensified about dealing with e-scooters and other vehicles.

It remains to be hoped that the e-scooter driver will soon be completely recovered and that the driver of the Opel Meriva can be held accountable. For all road users, it is crucial to take care of the old and consideration in order to prevent similar incidents in the future.
